Gigi's visit

Gigi came to visit. She is Liesel's sister (Kirsty's school friend) and her family is involved with the Newill's/Hayes/Gliks in various ways through church etc
Her family have 6 kids and so far our pattern is the same as theirs, 3 girls, boy and girl. Their 6th a boy. Their 2nd eldest like Tess (our 2nd) also wore an eye patch as a child and had glasses like Tess for wandering eye! Uncanny!

Kai got on so well with her and they both like musicals (their family even named Liesel after Liesel in sound of music..... Kai would chat away about her favourite songs, happy to find someone to share her interests with.

My new special, chelsea buns. Delicious and so easy to make.

I used lots of brown sugar and even dried cranberries for the filling.

We took Gigi for a walk and as we stepped out of the front gate, an Ibex was staring at us.

It didn't move for ages, then we realised it was guarding while the rest of the Ibex were nibbling on some one's trees.

It made a lovely picture. Amitai studying Kai earnestly as she recites the Shabbat blessing.

Tess was anxious to try some of the experiments she got with her chemical

prize bag from her science group.

We all watched in anticipation!
It was fun having Gigi, and after she returned to Jerusalem - the house was quiet and empty without her smile and giggles. The last morning Kai took her for a walk down the Serpentine road. Kai will no doubt write about that in her blog.
